Intel® Smart Connect Technology is a feature that periodically wakes your computer from Windows® sleep state to refresh email or social networking applications. It saves your waiting time and keeps the content always up-to-date.

3.4.1 System Requirements

•Confirm whether your motherboard supports this feature.

•	Operating system: Microsoft Windows 8/7 (32- or 64-bit edition)

•Set the SATA mode to AHCI. If Windows 8/7 is already installed under IDE mode, directly changing the SATA mode to AHCI may cause Windows 8/7 to crash while booting. If your system is not in AHCI mode, please follow the instructions below.

There are certain risks. Please backup any important data before operating to avoid loss.
